Stanford is suddenly a hot team, although its Super Bowl loyalty might be in question. Just ask Oregon State, the Cardinal's latest victim. Here's what happened Sunday on The Farm, courtesy of the San Francisco Chronicle report:

Just 10 days after being routed by Colorado and in danger of
disappearing into irrelevancy in the Pac-12, Stanford is very much alive
and kicking.

The Cardinal outlasted Oregon State 81-73 Sunday
afternoon, recording their third straight Pac-12 win for only the second
time in head coach Johnny Dawkins' five years on the Farm.

Then they went to root for the 49ers in the Super Bowl. Or did they?

Before every home game, the video board at Maples Pavilion shows part of Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis' rip-roaring pep talk to the Cardinal before last season's NIT final in
New York. They won that title. Last fall, they sent him a get-well card
when he tore a triceps.

During a video profile of forward Josh Huestis shown at halftime, Huestis said he'd be rooting for the Ravens because of Lewis. The remark prompted some good-natured booing.

After
his 16-point, 13-rebound performance helped boost Stanford (14-8, 5-4
Pac-12) going into this week's trip to Arizona, Huestis said he wanted
Lewis to get his Super Bowl ring but also would be rooting for former
Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh.
